The Ultimate Guide to the Best Adventure Activities in Africa

Africa is a continent full of excitement and adventure, offering a wide range of activities to suit all tastes. Whether you're looking for a romantic honeymoon experience or an adrenaline-filled adventure, this guide will help you find the perfect activity for your African holiday. For a romantic getaway, consider a trip to Lake Malawi. This stunning lake is surrounded by some of Malawi's best national parks and tea-producing regions, making it an ideal destination for a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

For an extra special honeymoon, check out our Fly-in Gorilla Extravaganza for the ultimate gorilla hiking adventure. Prices start from £4620 per person for 5 days. If you're looking for something truly unique, head to Northern Ethiopia's historic circuit and explore the impressive rock-cut churches of Lalibela. These 13 churches date back to the 12th century and are carved directly into the rock, making them an awe-inspiring sight.

For an unforgettable underwater experience, go whale shark diving. These majestic creatures are now listed as endangered due to overfishing, so swimming next to them is a real privilege. The Okavango Delta is also home to an incredible concentration and diversity of plants and wildlife, making it one of the top safari destinations in Africa. Our Botswana exploration itinerary covers all the highlights of this incredible region, including Morkoru canoeing through the Okavango Delta.

Prices start from £6935 per person for 11 days. The Namib Desert is also home to some of Africa's most impressive sights, including the towering red dunes of Sossusvlei. With some dunes reaching up to 325 meters high, this is an incredible place to explore on foot. For a classic African safari experience, check out our Zambian safari itinerary.

This 12-day trip covers all the highlights of Zambia and can be easily modified to include a stay in the forest and fit your budget. Prices start from £72.65 per person. If you're looking for an adrenaline rush, South Africa has plenty of activities to choose from. Take a tour of the Magalies just 1.5 hours from Johannesburg or opt for the Karkloof Tour outside Durban for some speed. Skydiving is also popular in South Africa, with Orlando's towers used for extreme sports such as bungee jumping 100 meters (328 feet) from the suspension bridge that connects them or SCAD freefalling 50 meters (164 feet) into a suspended net that slows down the fall. From romantic getaways to adrenaline-filled adventures, there's something for everyone in Africa.
